Southern Trapper Releases Ultra-Exclusive Ten-Piece Handcrafted Alligator Rifle

TGR Staff – 09/16/2021 

The Southern Trapper, a company known for its high-quality, hand-crafted leather goods, has released an ultra-exclusive collaboration firearm, the Southern Trapper Alligator R8 by Blaser. The ten-piece collection was painstakingly crafted by hand over two years by Blaser’s Custom Shop in Germany.

The masterpiece is made entirely from genuine American alligator skin that was sustainably harvested and hand-selected after tanning by Captain Bligh, the Grand Imaginator at Southern Trapper. The alligator skin transforms a rifle into a lavish and functional piece of art. Each rifle is made from a single piece of alligator skin by the most talented bespoke craftsmen in the world, this means no two rifles are alike.

These are truly heirloom pieces that will be passed on for generations to come, a sophisticated rifle like this has never been done before, and these pieces represent the ultimate status symbol. You won’t regret being one of the few to carry this rifle with pride.

said Captain Bligh.

Every detail was considered when crafting the Southern Trapper. Each thread is perfectly in line, like soldiers marching into battle. The ergonomically positioned stock offers a relaxed posture for the hands and arms in any shooting position, and vexatious flinching is minimal. The barrel and saddle mounts form a single accurate unit with notches machined into the top of the barrel directly above the chamber, to ensure the barrel freely floats and the point of impact remains constant.
